对公共住房居民健康状况的研究有限。作为回应，基于社区的参与性研究原则被用来制定一项干预措施，旨在改善与生活在低收入社区的拉丁裔家庭的多因素风险行为相关的健康结果。完成了由两部分组成的需求评估来指导干预：与家长（n = 10）的访谈以及与青少年和家长（n = 40）一起举办的小组模型构建（GMB）研讨会，以探索家长与青少年的动态。访谈表明，贫困、青少年不听话以及父母与青少年之间沟通不足导致了父母压力。在研讨会期间，确定了平衡和加强青少年与家长之间涉及沟通、信任和尊重的反馈循环。根据这些发现以及与社区咨询委员会的合作，设计了一种基于正念的双语冥想干预措施来满足社区需求：积极的亲子互动，强调信任和沟通、减轻压力和家庭幸福。
Studies examining the health of public housing residents are limited. In response, community-based participatory research principles were used to develop an intervention aimed at improving health outcomes related to multifactorial risk behaviors among Latino families living in a low-income neighborhood. A two-part needs assessment was completed to guide the intervention: interviews with parents (n = 10) and a group model building (GMB) workshop with youth and parents (n = 40) to explore the parent-youth dynamic. Interviews indicated that poverty, youth disobedience, and inadequate communication between parents and youth led to parental stress. During the workshop, balancing and reinforcing feedback loops involving Communication, Trust, and Respect between youth and parents were identified. Based on these findings and collaboration with a community advisory board, a bilingual, mindfulness-based meditation intervention was designed to address community needs: positive parent-child interaction emphasizing trust and communication, stress reduction, and family well-being.
